There should be a threshold for down votes. Once you reach so many, your account should be automatically disabled, period. They can always make another, but that would at least make these shills work for a living - LOL
LOL - you do gotta give him that. Funny you should mention him though. I got a comment from him an hour ago or so for mentioning to someone who was concerned his ilk were spamming Voat. I gave whoever the advise to reportspammers and let them sort it out, if they thought it was legit spam ... he was unhappy with my advice - LOL. He's a vocal dude for sure. But hasn't responded back when I explained I just advised. f ya don't like it, complain to anyone who actually does report ya. I just provided them an avenue to vent. BTW ... do those guys get paid to shill? Just curious, I generally ignore their nonsensical BS.
I kind of want to sign up. Like do an account, that everyone knows is a shill, and just post random bullshit. And get paid to voat. On one hand, it could be useful just to know what their agenda is. And I wouldn't feel bad because everyone knows it's a shill account.
You'd probably be obligated to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement that would prevent you from letting others know you are a shill account. And if you violated the terms you could get sued/fined and lose since you signed the NDA.
